DEONTAY WILDER has blasted Dillian Whyte after the Brit allegedly failed a drug test and raged: “This s*** has to stop, we just had a fighter die”.

last night claimed the Brit’s “A sample” taken by UK Anti-Doping before his points win over Oscar Rivas on Saturday night was flagged for “one or more” banned substances.

The “B sample” is now expected to be tested this week before any action is taken.

Whyte, who became WBC mandatory after the win, was attacked on Instagram by world champion Wilder - with the “failed” test coming days after Russian boxer Maxim Dadashev tragically died after a stoppage loss to Subriel Matias.

Wilder has branded Whyte "Donkey of the Year", blasting: “Now here you have a fighter that has been recently reported of taking PED’s (Performance Enhancements Drugs).

“In fact it was said he had over more than 1 substance in his body. This Fighter has been caught before using PED’s so this is his second attempt.

“This sh** has to stop...The bleeding has to stop somewhere.

We just had a fighter to f***ing die in the ring because of taking too many blow(s) to the head and you have idiots like @dillianwhyte want to CHEAT just to come up in his career because he’s not good enough to do it alone.

Deontay Wilder

“Oscar Rivas was his opponent that Dillian fought recently on drug in which Oscar dropped this drug user and almost beat him, so Mr Whyte all that and the s*** half way worked you still got put on your ass!!! I’d get my money back!!!

“He’s been claiming to want to fight me but the Question is if your doping with a non Champion just imagine what you will try to use if you had the chance to fight me? (Overdose).

“Him and his promoter #EddieHearn gave the @wbcboxing & @wbcmoro hell while all alone this MF has been cheating smh then have the audacity to try and snitch on his countrymen #Aj and accuse him of doing drugs when he himself is doing it as well.

“On top of that his promoter tried his best to cover this up before whyte’s recent fight.

"Somebody come and look at this sh**.”

Around 1.30am on Saturday night, SunSport was in Whyte's dressing room waiting for a post-fight interview when his final drug tests took place.

The Brixton bruiser's celebratory press conference was cut short so he could provide his urine and blood samples.

Whyte wanted to speak to the Press while handing over his bodily fluids, killing two birds with one stone.

The new WBC mandatory title challenger seemed to have nothing to hide and was happy to fulfil his duties in front of a busy room of people.

But the officials insisted he be taken into a private room away from cameras and reporters.

Promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed the British Board of Boxing Control cleared both fighters to box following tests from UKAD and Voluntary Anti-Doping Association tests. 


ROCKY ROAD

'The Body Snatcher', as Whyte is frighteningly nicknamed, grew up in the concrete jungle of Brixton as a self-confessed thug, where he had to use his fists to get himself out of bother.

But that didn't always work when guns and knives were brought to the fight.

As a street kid, the 31-year-old British heavyweight boxer was shot twice and stabbed three times on the mean streets of South London, as gangs ran rife.

And as soon as he became a teenager, Whyte's life changed dramatically when he became a father for the first time.

Whyte was banned from boxing for two years in 2012 after testing positive for banned stimulant Methylhexaneamine (MHA).

The heavyweight claims to have not knowingly taken the banned substance, which was consumed after being bought over the counter from a nutritional supplement shop.

Whyte this year accused rival Anthony Joshua of “legally cheating” by taking Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs) to allow him to use banned substances legally.

FURIOUS REACTIONS

The Body Snatcher's alleged failed test has caused unified champion Andy Ruiz Jr to claim he will not rematch AJ in the UK - claiming the fight "is a set up".

The comments were backed by Leonard Ellerbe, the long-time business partner of boxing legend Floyd Mayweather.

Ellerbe said: "IMO if this s*** is factual about Whyte if I’m @Andy_destroyer1 I’m going no where near the UK for the rematch with Joshua. Don’t do it Andy."

Wilder, who in May claimed he wanted a “body on his record” before his fight with Dominic Breazeale, accused Whyte of “committing an attempt to murder” by taking PEDs.

The Bronze Bomber said: “I get criticized about saying things like “Ima kill you” and mean it but without any substance whatsoever in my body.

“But here you have so many Fighters like the likes of Dillian Whyte that flood their body with PED’s just to advance to the next level, while committing an attempt to murder but want to speak against PED users smh, GTFOH.

 

“Boxing’s a place where you can hate it but love it all at the same damn time.

“This n**** is definitely the Donkey Of The Year!!!”

The National Anti-Doping Panel replied to SunSport's request for information but declined to comment on the case.
